July 3rd-July 9th

(7/3) Work day for me.  I ended up getting off early, and got to come home and spend the afternoon with my boys ❤


(7/4) Happy 4th!  Such a lovely day! The babies slept in until 8a, which is always heavenly.  I did a lot of baking today while the babies napped and then took advantage of their afternoon nap to get in some weeding.  We went to Justin's house for a barbecue and fireworks in the evening.  The babies ate and ate and ate today, finishing off everything I brought for them, plus an entire hamburger bun I grabbed as finger food. I put them to bed in the basement, and the next time I checked on them they were out.  They missed the fireworks entirely, but we have been catching them all week thanks to our obnoxious neighbors that like to light them off around nap or bedtime....

(7/5) Took today off and got to enjoy the wonderful summer weather that has finally arrived in Seattle!  Yay!  We took the boys to C's gymnastics class and then to the park after.  They were *TIRED* after all that and were crankin' quite a bit, but by the time we got home, they were back to their happy selves, so I gave them lunch and then put them down for a nap.


(7/6)  I worked today and Dad had the boys. They got to go to the park again ~ fun!  We tried watching a movie with them in the evening after I got home, but they were cranky so I ended up putting them to bed early. 


(7/7) Mom fail.  I have been talking and talking about C starting swim on Saturday, but was thrown by the mid-week holiday and vacation day and it didn't dawn on me that today was Saturday until lessons were over... Sigh.  But, as a result, we had a quiet, relaxing day and the babies were able to take naps and lunch at leisure. 

Happy J

(7/8) Happy Birthday to our oldest!!  C has a skating party today, so we'll be taking the herd to the Skate Deck this afternoon to celebrate. 

J has two new teeth poking through ~ no wonder he's been biting everything!  He'll have 2 top & 4 bottom once these arrive.  C had 6 teeth by 8 months, so this shouldn't really surprise me, yet it still does...


D is sitting really well!  He's made huge strides with that skill this week! Yay, D! 


(7/9)  Happy Monday!  The twins slept much better tonight than last.  Phew!  Thanks to my honey for letting me sleep the other night. I don't think I have slept so long since before they were born! Should keep me going for another few months!
